Name:DanielHome: Winnipeg, Manitoba, CanadaAbout Me: I used to believe that evolution was reasonable, that homosexuality was genetic, and that people became Christians because they couldn't deal with the 'reality' that this life was all there was. I used to believe, that if there was a heaven - I could get there by being good - and I used to think I was more or less a good person. I was wrong on all counts. One day I finally had my eyes opened and I saw that I was not going to go to heaven, but that I was certainly going to suffer the wrath of God for all my sin. I saw myself as a treasonous rebel at heart - I hated God for creating me just to send me to Hell - and I was wretched beyond my own comprehension. Into this spiritual vacuum Jesus Christ came and he opened my understanding - delivering me from God's wrath into God's grace. I was "saved" as an adult, and now my life is hid in Christ. I am by no means sinless, but by God's grace I am a repenting believer - a born again Christian.My complete profile...

The Buzz

Daniel's posts are almost always pastoral and God centered. I appreciate and am challenged by them frequently. He has a great sense of humor as well. - Marc Heinrich

His posts are either funny or challenging. He is very friendly and nice. - Rose Cole

[He has] good posts, both the serious like this one, and the humorous like yesterday. [He is] the reason that I have restrained myself from making Canadian jokes in my posts. - C-Train

This post contains nothing that is of any use to me. What were you thinking? Anyway, it's probably the best I've read all day. - David Kjos

There are some people who are smart, deep, or funny. There are not very many people that are all 3. Daniel is one of those people. His opinion, insight and humor have kept me coming back to his blog since I first visited earlier this year. - Carla Rolfe

Here is how you play it, and I am just making up the rules and the idea off the cuff right now, but if this works, we could make it a regular feature.

RULES: I will choose some notion or whatever, and you must use the verification letters to make a sentence using each letter, in turn, to begin each word in a sentence that has as many words as your verification word has letters. Your sentence should creatively summarize the notion given.

Example: Lets say the topic was "why Scottish men wear quilts." You would click on the "comment(s)" link at the bottom of this post, and after the comment window opened you would note the verification word you are given. Now you use that word to write your sentence telling me about (in this example at least) why Scottish men wear quilts. If your verification word were "ctgfs" I should expect to see something like this:

"[c]ause [t]heir [g]reat [f]or [s]nowmobiling"

Now the only rule is =no cheating= ! if you can't think of anything with the verification word you were given, refresh the page and see if you can do something with a different word. You will be tempted to "fudge" a letter or to to make it work better - DON'T! Just try and put in something.

OKAY the topic for the first ever World Famous Word Verification Free Association Game™ is:

David, because the letters are always the ones we wouldn't use, and because it is difficult to string words together in such a forced, preposition-starved medium, it makes it far more fun because one has to be creative and have a vocabulary that allows for a lot of q, w, x, z, and Y words.
